My name is Matt Magelitz, and Anchor & Line Outfitters began with my early mornings on the water — the kind with coffee steam in cold hands, quiet shorelines, and time to breathe.

During my time as a Navy Seabee, building and repairing what others depended on, the meaning of work became clear: what you build must last, and who you make it for matters. I started this brand from a deep desire to build gear that is honest, humble, and genuine.

I know the battle doesn't stop just because you're on the water. We build gear that holds, so you always have a reliable piece of that healing ritual with you on every single trip.

Rooted in Faith & Craftsmanship, We are a Veteran-owned small business. We make custom tackle and sell apparel — not mass-produced gear meant to be thrown away, but things built with purpose, by hands that care.

We work with fellow small makers, tackle builders, and local craftspeople — because the work is better when it’s shared. Every item we sell supports Veterans rediscovering community, identity, and peace through the outdoors.

What We Believe

• The Anchor keeps us steady — faith, humility, truth.

• The Line is what connects us — to each other, to the water, to God.

“Follow Me.”

-Matt 4:19

Jesus called fishermen to a higher purpose—serving others and leading by example. Anchor & Line Outfitters is built on that same calling: craftsmanship, stewardship, and investing in people both on and off the water.

That’s the heart of it. Not marketing. Not branding. Just a life lived with purpose. We’re here for the people who rise early, work with their hands, take care of their neighbors, and know the water has a way of keeping a person honest.

Gear doesn’t make you who you are — but the things you choose to carry can reflect what you value. So we build what’s made to endure. We honor the work. We stay anchored.
